This triple LP set was originally released in conjunction with the movie and therefore it's also called Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More but it's more commonly referred to as Woodstock I. The album was very successful and reached #1 at the Billboard Pop Album charts in 1970[1]. It was re-released as a remastered double CD album on August 12, 1994.
The tracks from this album as well as tracks from the follow-up Woodstock II and additional bonus material made it onto the box set Woodstock - Three Days of Peace and Music (1994). The only difference is that all stage announcements were removed so that most of the tracks are now shorter on the box set.
[edit] Recording Notes
The song "Sea of Madness" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) wasn't recorded in Woodstock at all[2]. Nevertheless it made its way onto the Woodstock box set.
